City insight: Seattle
Seattle is the most populous city in Washington State and the Pacific Northwest, situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound and Lake Washington. It is the county seat of King County and the northernmost major city in the United States. The climate is mild and often damp, with dry summers and wet winters, so summer and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
